I heard Awfulause on the radio today and was reminded of how bad the lyrics are so I went to wiki to check how many songwriters are on it. But that's not the important part. The important part is this:
Quote:
the song deals with how she is dependent on her fans' adoration, while her vocals on the track have been compared by music critics to those of Annie Lennox
|
Quote:
with vocal acrobatics likened to Annie Lennox's work with the Eurythmics
|
Quote:
Chris Richards of The Washington Post described "Applause" as "an unsurprising electro-pop sugar cube with Gaga seeking our approval in a voice somewhere between Annie Lennox and David Bowie."
|
Quote:
Vocally, "Applause" was compared to Annie Lennox (left) and David Bowie (right).

The first thing I said about this song when the snippet leaked: Why is she trying to sound like Annie Lennox?
Thank GOD I can recognize these things without ever bothering to listen to full albums or read reviews to help me make obscure musical references that don't mean ****!
